Not to solicit work but I work on them on the side. If you need any help let me know. Probably the best way would be to post it in the tech section so everyone can help and learn.

You were right on the 8 spokes they look great but the rear, because of the rims being a lil bit wider than the orig im having rubbing issues on the fenders, ive got 195 60's on and i cant drive it because they rub so bad i have to go with a 195 50 like on the front but then ill have issues with the stinger exhaust dragging the ground so we are going to go and raise the rear a couple clicks to keep the 60's on for now, seems nobody around here stock a 195 50, Ill wait and get a whole new set so i have a couple for spares..

I would suggest keeping a taller tire than a 195 50. That will make you engine rev a little higher to go the same speed as before. If you are planning to buy a new set of four then I would just drop to a little narrower tire like a 185 or even back to the old 165 and just match that with the front.

If you do keep the 195s then check tire rack as they have them for 42 a piece plus shippingBryce

Id love to get the 165r15 the originals but where can i find them? all the tire places i checked here around town dont stock them, told me to check kooker, in chattanooga but they also said it would be an arm and a leg and mabe even more...

Yeah thats a bit of a drive saying im in Dalton If your not in a rush to sell them and your going to the meet on the 16th let me know, and we can work it out im sure ill find something by then but its always good to have a couple extra, for just in case sittuation's

Good to know! just keep me in mind for the 16th, Im really going to try to make that meet the night time lazer show sounds real cool! In the mean time Im going to go up a couple clicks in the rear till i find some, I have to check a freind hes got an old 65 rat rod bug thats sitting in his drive way that he said I could have the tires if i want as long as they are not to dry rotted
